Since after this week, everyone is either in the jury or in the final 2, who do you think can beat who in the jury as it stands now? here's my grid: You read across and then down, W=wins against, L=Loses against, T=Tossup
| Amb | Dani | Dick | Dust | Eric | Jam | Jen | Jess | Kali | Zach | Amb | x | T | L | L | L | T | L | W | L | W | Dani | T | x | L | T | L | W | T | W | L | T | Dick | W | W | x | W | L | T | L | W | L | T | Dust | T | T | T | x | L | T | L | T | T | T | Eric | W | W | W | W | x | T | T | W | T | T | Jam | T | L | T | T | T | x | L | T | T | T | Jen | W | T | W | W | T | W | x | W | L | W | Jess | L | L | L | T | L | T | L | x | L | T | Kail | W | W | W | T | T | T | W | W | x | T | Zach | L | T | T | T | T | T | L | T | T | x | | So you see, as of now, Jess has the best chance to win if she makes it to the finals, and Kail and Eric have the worst chances (and of course one of them will go this week)

Well, that's your opinion. It's waaaay too early to know for sure how the votes will go as things change on a dime in here. As for your grid, I'm reminded of that song by Styx. Too Much Time On (in this case, your) Hands

Won't it also depend on HOW the jury members are evicted? You know they will be jockeying to stay on good sides of evictees, just as Jameka is WELL aware of wanting to keep her promise to Eric (as is Amber) but they are also considering the possibility that a HG will return to the house and it might be Eric, so much so that Jameka advised Jessica, who seemed quite willing to join Dustin in a vote against Eric, to vote to keep Eric. Of course we know they won't be coming back, but they don't know that. I opine that the reason Dustin is so cool with being the last vote to put Eric out is that he thinks this will buy him jury votes of Kail, perhaps Jen, Dick, Daniele and even others. But then that could backfire if there was a wave of regret over this eviction (a la Nick). There are some people who end up voting against the person who got them out, as revenge and there are those who go by the theory that the person who got them out is most deserving. And Jameka? How will she interpret the signs? When it gets to F2, how will she judge various people? My chartless gut feel agrees with Jess being a real threat in F2 and Kail, not so much.

All of this depends on which one--Eric or Kail--is evicted this week, and then how the remaining factions balance out. If Kail is evicted, that would be a loss for the Donatos, and the others might gain some power from the Donatos' loss. Of course, the Donatos seem to be master manipulators and liberally use fear and intimidation, so if Eric leaves, the others will be pretty powerless as more and more of them suck up to Dick and Daniele. I could see both Donatos in the final two, in which case Daniele might win, because she could be perceived as slightly more likable. If somehow neither Donato is in the final two, I think Jameka might have a chance. If only one of the Donatos is in the final two, then the others might lose their fear and get their revenge by voting for the non-Donato.

It's not too early for the HGs to think about it. If they're smart, they should be planning *now* who they want on the jury and who they want to take to the end. The chart is a good way to help us think about how they may want to play.
